In carrying out the present method, the hair is given a basic haircut in the usual manner. This haircut is shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 and is made from hair. which has a side part. This operation includes the usual shorten. ing, thinning and shaping the hair to the contour of the head and provides the beginning of the individual styling to suit the face and personality of the customer. The hair is cut, thinned and shaped so that the design to fall in place even before the hair is set. The haircut will include light hair 10 on the part side of the head, heavy hair -11 on the nonpart side of the head and hair 12 at the back of the head. The hair 12 at the back of the head is cut short enough not to have to be set unless the customer wishes tohave it left long enough to setor, curl. The part on the side of the head is shown at 13. I

The wishes of the customer as to length and style are adhered to. The hair is cut, shaped and thinned t-o the shape or contour of the head and also made to fit the face in the most flattering manner. The haircut is made on dry hair, clean or unclean, using scissors and thinning shears. V I i With the dry haircut completed, the operator then" proceeds to one side of the head and provides a series or two of ringlets 14 upon the hair, Fig. 4,;and retains them with hair pins, bobbypins, metal curlers hair" clips '15, preferably hair clips as shown because they, are easy to handle, quicker to place on the ri ng'let 14 and easier to remove. It has also been found that hair clips leave the hair with a softer curl.

These ringlets 14 or curls are'inade by working strands of hair with a comb which has been immersed mareceptacle 0f water,-and from which the excess water has" been removed. The heavy side 11 of the hair will, when completed, with ringlets and hair clips, appear as shown in Fig. 4. In order to give these ringlets a set, [a lamp or heat device 16 is drawn closer to the hair and over the r-in-glets in the manner shown in Fig. 5, so that the water is evaporated to set the ringlets. The position of the lamp is as shown in Figs. 5 and 6.

While the ringlets on the one, or heavy, side of the head are being heated with the lamp, the operator then I works on the hair on the other, or part, side of the head to provide other ringlets 1 7 which will be held by the hair clips 15'. Since these ringlets 17 are disposed on the side of thehead having the part 1-3, [fewer ringlets will be needed. These ringlet-s 17 are located above and to the rear'of the car. There is no waste of time taken by the drying of the hair with the lamp 16, as this drying is efiected while the operator is preparing the ringlets on the opposite side of the head, as shown in Fig. .6. With the singlets 17 so completed, the lamp 16 is moved heat penetrates therefore drying the moist-hair ;q u1 lilye.
